System and method include: receiving location information about a mobile device; creating trackable data structures; determining a movement path of the mobile device; receiving image streams from a plurality of cameras; identifying one or more cameras in the movement path; identifying relevant image streams from the identified one or more cameras in relevant to a time and location of the mobile device in the movement path, by associating the image timestamps from the identified one or more cameras with the location and the tracking timestamps of the trackable data structures in the movement path; wherein each identified relevant image stream includes a confidence level of relevance to trackable data structures in the movement path; and displaying the movement path of the mobile device and the identified relevant image streams that include a confidence level higher than a predetermined threshold on a map on a display screen.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising identifying a face image in the identified relevant image streams associated with the user of the mobile device and displaying the face image on the display screen.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining one or more of visitors' traffic in the geographical zone, duration of mobile device stay in the geographical zone, physical and web locations visited by visitors in the geographical zone, and details from, application used, and web browsing actions, by the visitors in the geographical zone, from the associated image timestamps and tracking timestamps.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein associating image timestamps with tracking timestamps is performed over a plurality of time periods.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining where the user has been within a certain time period.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein parameters for the proximity of the movement path include adjustable distances and adjustable time periods within the distance, and a size and type of the geographical zone.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the unique device identification is a media access control (MAC) address of the mobile device.
10. The method of claim 1, further comprising sizing and shaping the geographic zone in such a way as to identify and capture traffic of people of interest at a particular location or venue, and/or to understand which person is in a restricted area.
14. The method of claim 12, further comprising identifying a face image in the identified relevant image streams associated with the user of the mobile device and displaying the face image on the display screen.
15. The method of claim 12, further comprising determining one or more of visitors' traffic in the geographical zone, duration of mobile device stay in the geographical zone, physical and web locations visited by visitors in the geographical zone, and details from, application used, and web browsing actions, by the visitors in the geographical zone, from the associated image timestamps and tracking timestamps.
16. The method of claim 12, wherein associating image timestamps with tracking timestamps is performed over a plurality of time periods.
17. The method of claim 12, further comprising predicting a behavior of the mobile device user on the map on a display screen, wherein the predicted behavior includes where the user has been within a certain time period.
18. The method of claim 12, wherein associating image timestamps with tracking timestamps is performed by observing image slices where no one moves in the image streams.
19. The method of claim 12, wherein the unique device identification is a media access control (MAC) address of the mobile device.
